My grandparents relationships had a positive influence on me. I assumed it was a given that everyone would end up with their person sitting in the living room, talking and watching tv with their grandkids.

But once you grow up you realize it’s actually rare for couples to make it, to grow old together and even if they do then one passes away and leaves the other behind.

I know it’s easy to romanticize our grandparents relationships in the age of online, unlimited and international dating but they seemed to have marriage figured out a little more that us.
